Really? I have been toying with finding something I can integrate Jamba configuration into. The WoW GUI is not as powerful as something I can do outside of WoW.
If you release something as powerful as HotKeyNet with a GUI and its open source, I'll be hacking...
I like OpenBox as a name.
Yep. :) But of course I'm reusing a lot of code from HotkeyNet 1, HotkeyNet 2, and ProgramW.Quote:

Let me tell you the basic plan, and please tell me if you have any thoughts on how this can be designed to work better for your purposes.
It's actually two projects. There's (1) an engine and (2) a multiboxing program that's built from the engine. I'm going to release both things as part of the same package, but people can use the engine separately, if they want, to create their own multiboxing programs.
I'll call (2) the "user program."
The engine is an unmanaged DLL. Both the engine and the user program are written in C++. (Of course people will be able to write other user programs in C# or anything else.)
The engine exports extremely high-level functions. I'm trying to make the exports seem like a programming language for building a multiboxing program.
For example, the engine exports a function called "ConnectToOtherPCs." The person who writes the user program only needs to call that single function, and the engine automatically connects to all other copies of itself on the local network ... the engine worries about IPs, sockets, settings, etc..
Of course there is also a lower level API so the user program can control the engine at a finer level, if necessary, but I'm trying to make it as easy as possible.
OpenBox should be good unless there is something out there with the name, or call it OpenMultiBox, but if your trying to go with a short name I vote OpenBox.
I like OpenBox, real good name, full of promises.
If you need French translation for the GUI, just ask.
Thanks. It will be extremely easy to create versions in different languages. There will be a separate text file with all the messages and captions, and people can just translate the file into different languages.Quote:

OpenBox was the first name that occurred to me too (a few days ago). Unfortunately OpenBox.com, OpenBox,net, etc., are all taken.
OsBox also occurred to me, and in fact the source code is named OsBxr. (I had to name it something so I could start working on it. There are about fifty source files already.)
However ... I'm wondering ... what about a non-technical name? Something grittier and easier to remember? Maybe something like:
Heat
Splash
Ooba
Grump
Renegade
Rufus
Those suck but I'm just trying to say, "non techie."
Awesome. It sounds great. My interest lies in providing an easier way of configuring Jamba; and integrating into a key cloner type of program seems like a natural way forward. Its just an idea at the moment and if I can find an easy way to do it, the likelyhood of it happening increases.Quote:

Thanks for all your (continued) effort on your great programs.
Jafula, I hope you'll give me tons of feedback and advice. It would be great if you can help me design this thing, as it goes along, so it's as suitable as possible for what you want to do.
Legion, for we are many.
Framba
Fremba
These would require some 'blessing' from Jafula to be proper courtesy, or if you guys went nuts on collaboration you go to FreJamba or even FreeJamba, which plays on the open source nature of the project.
Fredbox
FOSBE (pronounced Fahz-bee) Freddy's Open Source Boxing Engine
Can do a lot of variants of this, I'd emphasize your name, open source, and that it's for boxing, since that's the jargon term we use for multiboxing.
edit:
Don't be shy about putting your own name or stamp on the project, you deserve the visibility and the credit, Jafula did it with Jamba and I think it was brilliant.
I am from Eastern Kentucky, if you that translation done.
OOOH I can translate it into Spanglish! Um I dont know too many Spanish speakers who MB though.
oh I like legion.Quote:

Perhaps you would like to set up a forum over on HotKeyNet to provide a place where ideas can be discussed?

Outerspace.
(OpenBox sounds good)
Poly
Polybox
Box^n
PolyGAMEy (instead of Polygamy)

(extra words that mean nothing for the minimum letters needed to make a post)
How 'bout ossbox or fossbox , plus all those domains are unclaimed.
BTW, Mormons do not practice Polygamy.Quote:

Actually the FLDS church is different than the LDS church. Mormons are members of the LDS church, the "Mormon Fundamentalists" in Boutiful are members of the FLDS church. A totally separate organization. But I do not want to hijack this thread, if anyone wants to discuss it further, please pm or start another thread with any questions or statements.
Stay on target.

Sorry to derail the thread.
